”I enjoyed my experience at Arden. They take us children seriously and they don’t just throw things on the stage, and they don’t underestimate us kids. I thank Arden Theatre for letting kids have an experience of their lifetime. Also thank you all for caring about us. I am Arden Theatre’s biggest fan."

- Akota, Grade 5, Arden for All Student

“Claymobile is fun, it’s… I feel free in it.”

"For my daughter and me, Friends' Central's financial aid was life-changing. Each year, when we receive our letter from the financial aid committee, we feel the same joy and gratitude. Our daughter's teachers and friends have been wonderful."  - FCS Parent
